Hi karen-bomac
Thank you for your post. You might find the Time Billing function a good way to track this information. You could enter an Activity Slip which will track how much time was spent on each Job, then you can use those slips to create timesheets for the Payruns, but also be able to use it to create invoices for your customers as well.
Here are our Help Articles that explain how Time Billing works:
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you Samara. I look forward to diving into these. We've never used the Time Billing function, so I'm hopeful that will be of some assistance. 😊
Thanks again, Samara. unfortunately we don't directly bill clients for time. We just want to keep track of how our workshop employee's time is divided among jobs. Is there a way to allocate the value of an activity to a particular job without generating a custmer invoice?
I don't want the overall $ amounts to get counted twice within different parts of MYOB, if that makes sense.
Hi karen-bomac
In that case, you might want to skip the Activity Slips and just use Timesheets. This will put hours against a Job but no monetary amounts. For instructions on how to turn this feature on and how it works see our Help Article: Timesheets.
Hope that's what you are looking for.

Thank you again for your time SamaraM
We had set up the Timesheets previously to try and use the Teams app (didn't work for the way our guys record their time, but the structure was already in place - to give context) so I entered the workshop hours into the Timesheet function against the job numbers, which was great.
So, one step in the right direction! 😃
Now . . . you mentioned in your last reply that this would put the hours against the job but no monetary amounts, however, when I run a P&L report on the job, it is putting a monetary amount against the job, equivelant to the wages. Same when I run a job activity report. This is not in and of itself a bad thing, but it would also be good to see how many hours that corresponds to.
Am I not using the Timesheets in the way you intended, or is there another report that would give me the detail in hours instead of/in addition to wages?
Thank you
Karen
